Not that i’m aware of, although it’s actually an issue where distutils and setuptools supports

two different standards here :(

Probably this needs to be resolved in Python itself to get distutils to make directories instead

of a file. Or do the same hack that pip does in order to force setuptools monkey patching to

take place and have setuptools drop them.
